What are the fees for Flexline?

Last updated: 23. feb. 2026

Flexline crypto-secured loans charge interest that is paid every 4 hours in the borrowed asset currency.

The rate of each loan is determined by the currency that is borrowed along with the duration (also called tenor) that the asset is borrowed. This rate is fixed throughout the life of the loan. 

In addition to this, there is a one-time origination fee of 0.5% at the onset of the loan, paid in the borrowed asset currency.

The loan can be closed in three ways:

  • Loan maturation: This is what automatically occurs as long as there is no liquidation event throughout the life of the loan.

  • Early termination: This is a voluntary closure of the loan initiated by the user. In such a case, the user will pay an Early Termination Fee equal to half of the remaining interest payments scheduled for the loan.

  • Liquidation: Liquidation occurs when an account’s collateral (main wallet balance) is insufficient to cover the loan. In such a case, assets will be sold to repay the Flexline loan.

In all three scenarios of closing a loan, the borrowed asset currency will be automatically deducted from the main wallet. However  if there are insufficient assets of the borrowed currency in your main balance, assets will be converted into the borrowed currency. There may be a fee associated with this conversion.

To avoid unnecessary conversion fees, consider executing an order for the required type and amount of funds before expiration day.
